Applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges

Abstract

The Vulcan Graben airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) survey is located in the Vulcan Sub-basin, Timor Sea. The survey was flown
on December 2nd 1996. 149 lines were acquired at 300 m spacing in a NW-SE orientation. A total of 1,569,074 spectra were collected
at an average spacing of 1.45 m to 1.65 m.Of the 183 fluors picked during the refined interpretation, 70 were large fluors
with a F/R ratio larger then 0.3. Some of the fluor clusters may be related to leakage from the Skua Field and Spruce Prospect
although direct correlation between fluor clusters and accumulations are not reliable. The fluorescence peak wavelength tends
to move to longer values moving from the NE to the SW.
